The great Santa Fe railway has to-
day placed Abilene in direct COM
munication with the Gulf states, the
Pacific coast and the Eastern markets.
The benefits to be derived are too
numerous to mention. There is no
railroad in the country more liberal to
its patrons than the Santa Fe. Always
wide-awake and progressive, they are
ever on the alert to help, aid and assist
every station on their road, and by so
doing, ultimately, are increasing the
business of their line. But few
months will elapse before we will be
upon the great through line between
Chicago and Denver. The road from
Topeka to Abilene has been surveyed,
and work will soon commence. The
COncordia branch will soon be COM
pleted, then on to Cheyenne, the cap
itOl of Wyoming Ter. With the man
ufacturing interests already located
here, and others equally extensive that
will soon follow, with trunk lines
leading out in every direction to ship
out the fruits thereof, our future great
ness is assured. In less than sixty
days the Rock Island locomotive will
be whiStling in our city. Work has
been commenced on the Chicago.
Omaha & Southwestern. Our popula-
ton will double in less than two years.
Let the good work go on. Shake,
Santa Fe, you are welcome, thrice
welcome. Abilene yearned to gather
you within her arms, and you are here,
and the best wishes and good will of
our people are cheerfully thine.

What timely and valuable lesson
the country has learned from the silly
agitation on the proposition to return
the flags. We have been enabled to
ascertain the extent and quality of the
fraternal feeling that prevails between
the sections, and to weigh to a signifi-
canoe the frOth and fury of individuals.
The furry has elected great deal of
information. We have learned that a
law was enacted in 1914, making it the
duty of the president of the United
States to display the flags at the seat of
government; we have learned that
Charles Sumner, the great apostle Of
emancipation, first advocated the
destruction of all symbols of strife and
conquest, and that he had for cOagita-
tors such men as Horace Greeley; we
have learned that for years past North
ern survivors of the war have been ex-
changing with their Southern brethren
the relics of their forgotten hatred; we
have learned that a few political agita-
tors, to further their selfish ends,
would forever keep up an i'll feeling be-
tween the sections.
The Abilene reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1883-1888, 1887-06-30

1t appears that in 1914 a law. was
passed to provide for the collection
and preservation of such flags, stand
ards and cOlOrS as shall have been, or
may hereafter be taken by the land and
naval forces Of the United States from
their enemies" 1t required the secre-
taries of the war and navy departments
to cause such flags, etc., to be collected
and transmitted to the seat of govern
ment, and there, with all dispatch, dis
played by the President. 1t recognized
the old barbaric spirit in man, and that
we were sort Of enlightened savages.
anxious to display the many scalps we
had taken in battle. 1t must make the
blood boil in the veins Of a few crankS
to think that the Republican presidents
never displayed the trophies of our
great victories during the war. Why
did Generals Fairchild and Tuttle allow
the trophies to lie in damp cellars and
in garrets, displayed only to moths and
vermin, that fed on and nested in them?
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield and Arthur
rest in honOred graves. 1t is not too
late for General Fairchild to start the
business on the old fraud for
to display the trophies
around the Capitol.

Queen Victoria's 50th anniversary
passed off very pleasantly, and highly
gratifying, no doubt, to the Queen.
All over her vast dominions there was
hearty congratulations rendered, except
in the Emerald Isle. Poor Ireland,
prosecuted and held down with an iron
hand, and in the hearts Of your people
there is such yearning for liberty,
justice and right. There is no race on
the face of the globe where her child
rem are born with greater and more
impulsive love for liberty. Every Celt
was born with heart and mind, in
which every thrOb and desire was to be
his OWN sovereign, and an abhOrance
against recognizing an aristoeratic
sovereign, of another race and country,
as. lord and master. The jollificatiOn
over the reign of Queen to whom you
have implored for relief and been
ignored, implOred for justice and re-
ceived oppression. No, your warm
hearted SONS and daughters suffer,
grieve and perish, generation after
generation, helpless always, but never
HOPELESS. But you cannot be happy over
the anniversary of the reign of one who
has reigned over you with harsh hand,
and rained upon your children torrent
of obnoxious measures grevious to bear.
Let Queen Victoria show disposition,
and use her influence to disenthrall
"Old Ireland between now and her
51st anniversary, and every one will
shout: "Long live Victoria, God save
the Queen of England" Her name
would then become imperishable until |
earthly things perish. She would then |
be entitled to crown of glory in the |
world to come that would be imperish-
able through eternity.

Sectional strife is one of the greatest
evils that Can arise, or that has arisen
in this country. The evil is sufficiently
apparent to awaken the deepest anxiety
in the bosom of every patriot. Al
though we have had civil war in con-
sequence of sectional strife, and al
though we came out Of that terrible
ordeal with united country, as far as
mere territory is concerned, and would
seem to be drifting back into the haven
of rest underline protection of our COM
mon constitution, it is to be regretted
that at every opportunity the strife is
renewed. We see not exactly party,
but members of the Republican party,
asserting that their superior loyalty, in
telligence and patriotism as emitting
them to rule to the exclusion of all
other sections, persons and parties.
Unless all bow to their peculiar notions,
as to how legislation should be conduct
ed, and by whom the laws should be
administered, yell of treason and dis
loyalty is heard.
This attitude in the North is calcu-
lated to create corresponding solidity
in the South. 1t prevents them from
differing upon matters of internal policy
upon the question of tariff taxation
and it will do so as long as there are in
diyiduals sectional in their nature.
who assert their right to not only rule
the other section of the Union, but all
individuals around them that dare differ
with them in opinion.
Appeals are being constantly made
by these political cranks in the North.
to stir up strife and i'll will, not only
against one section of the Union, but
against all that will not lend listening
ear to their wild ranting.
The occasion for strife has long since
passed away. We will not say that the
whole Republican party engage in this
unpatriotic crusade; a great majority
of Republican members of the G.. AR.
are patriotic and Union-loving men.
and do not approve of the course pur
sued by the crankS. There are millions
of Democrats and Republicans this
does not include cranks,) who would
rally around the flag and constitution,
both North and South, the moment any
hostile hand would assail either section.
II is not in the nature of things that
the majority of the people Of this country
can be its enemies. Why, then, so ready
to denounce the foremost Union soldiers
of the war as enemies in disguise and
by so doing promote bitterness as well
as build up sectional parties. True
patriotism and love of country, and |
every noble impulse of our hearts,
would prompt every lover of the Union |
to allay ard assuage this sectional
hatred and strife.

Mr.. HENRY LIFTS,
EDITOR EVENING REFLECTOR,
DEAR SIR-For the last three or
four weeks the library has been the recipien
of the EVENING REFLECTOR, and we would
like to know to whom we are indebted for this
kindness. The paper is live one and we
would like to know the donor so that we could
thank him. Yours Respectfully,
JESSE r. LERCH,
Librarian of the Easton Library
The donor is an old Pennsylvania
who is sending a number more to that
portion Of the state from whence he
came. He firmly believes in the Bible
adage, "Let not your left hand know
what your right hand doeth," and we
therefore refrain, at his request, to
make public his name. Suffice it to
say, he is one of our rich, prosperous,
public spirited citizens who takes this
means of bringing to Abilene and
Dickinson county as many sensible
people as he can from the Keystone
state, who wish to better themselves
far beyond their expectations. All We
who wish to prosper, come to Abilene,
come to Dickinson county, and if you
don't make as much in one year here
as you do in five where you are, We'll
bequeath you our entire outfit.
